How “not” to increase the batch name

NAV standard, in the case of use of batch name containing numbers, after posting automatically increases the last number existing in batch name (example: Batch 1 > 2 ..AL110A > AL111A.. and so on..)

This functionality is handled “Bydesign” in NAV, if you want to “NOT increase” the number and keep the same number in the batch (example in the case of fixed batch used for example for output and consumption and related numbered machines, former assets) can modify the codeunit 23 “Item Jnl.-Post Batch”

To achieve this, you need to change this line ItemJnlBatch.Name: = INCSTR ( “Journal Batch Name”) in function HandleNonRecurringLine
